Application December 22, 1945, Serial No. 636,781

9 Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in a pressure-type burner and method of burning fuel.

It is a primary object of the invention to provide an oil burner capable of delivering flame and products of combustion through the elongated fire tube of a boiler of high rating, the construction of the burner being such as to use effectively the heat of a relatively slight preliminary combustion of the fuel to support continued combustion during an abrupt and complete admixture of fuel and air with a flame propagation rate which will exceed even the high velocities of delivery of products of combustion through a fire tube, the burning fuel and most of the requisite air being delivered under pressure separately to the immediate vicinity where mixing is to occur and being abruptly discharged through the mixing orifice as soon as the fiame propagation rate approximates the velocity of travel through the orifice and before suflicient expansion has occurred to increase unnecessarily the pressure required to efi'ect discharge through such orifice. I have found that the proportions and dimensions of the apparatus are somewhat critical if substantially complete combustion is to be achieved and carbon deposits or the pulling off of the flame are to be avoided.

More specifically, it is my purpose to provide a particular arrangement and proportioning of burner parts which include a fuel nozzle in predetermined relation to a restricted orifice through which the products of combustion must pass, the nozzle being surrounded by air passages of predetermined capacity and predetermined relation to the nozzle and to theoriflce.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a burner in which air pressures ranging upwards from .2 of a pound per square inch may be used effectively to achieve increased velocity of flow with such turbulence as to assure adequate mixing for accelerating combustion, the entire system preferably being hermetically sealed from the source of air and fuel pressure to the point of flue gas delivery, and the whole arrangement being such as to enable the use of much higher air pressures than are conventionally employed.

The present application is a continuation in part of my application entitled "Pressure system oil burner," Serial No. 543,878, filed July '7, 1944, and now abandoned. This is also a companion to my application entitled "High rating fire tube boilers and methods of boiler operation, Serial No. 619,671, filed October 1, 1945.

In the annexed drawings:

Fig. 1 is a view in horizontal section showing one embodiment of my burner.

Fig. 2 is a view in end elevation of the burner shown in Fig. 1 when mounted for use as a torch.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view taken in crosssection on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view taken in crosssection on line 55 of Fig. 1.

The modification or form of the invention shown in Fig. 1 comprises a wall forming a burner tube l hermetically attached at one end to a radial wall 2. The attachment of the burner tube l to the wall 2 may be effected and maintained in different ways, as by a radial flange 3 integral with the end of the tube I, and detachable bolts 4 securing the flange 3 to the wall 2.

A nipple 5 is hermetically secured to and opens through the wall 2 coaxially with the tube l. A T-fitting 6 has detachable threaded leak-proof connection with the nipple 5 and is thereby supported close to the wall plate 2 and to the end of the tube l. A transparent window I of glass or other suitable transparent material is hermetically attached to the outer end of the T- fitting 6 by a frame 8, and constitutes means through which the interior of the burner tube l, the parts contained therein, and the flame of ignition therein may be visually observed. Into one side of the T-fitting 6 an air inlet tube 9 opens for conducting air under pressure into the burner tube 1 through said fitting. Air is impelled and caused to flow through the tube I by an appropriate pressure fan Ill connected with the tube 9, as shown generally in Fig. 2, or by a compressor or other air impeller, as desired. The tube 9 may be flexible and of any length, so that the pressure fan or other air impeller may be located at any desired distance from the burner. gairhpressure should be atleast /10 lb. per square A fuel supply pipe H extends through the wall of the fitting 6 and is connected byan angular extension l2 with a fuel nozzle l3 located c0- axially within the burner tube I intermediate of and spaced substantial distances from its ends. Oil or other fuel, such as gas, is forced through pipe H-l2 by pressure and through nozzle l3 from a pump I 4 operated by an electric motor l5, or otherwise; the particular form of nozzle and size of pipe depending on the fuel used. Fuel is delivered to and received by the pump l4 through a pipe l6 leading from a source of supply. For liquid fuel, any suitable type of pressure atomizing nozzle may be used.

The nozzle I3 is mounted coaxlally within an inner sleeve I1 closer to the open eiliuent end [B than to the opposite open air inlet end IQ of said sleeve. A disc 20 is attached to and supported by the oil supply pipe extension 12 within the sleeve i1 between the nozzle l3 and the open air inlet end IQ of said sleeve. The peripheral edge of said disc 20 is separated from the sleeve I! by an intervening annular space 2| constituting a passage for the air through said sleeve to the nozzle I 3. This disc functions to slow down and reduce the velocity of the air flow or current through the inner sleeve I1 for the purpose of stabilizing ingition, and, in conjunction with the sleeve I1, develops an enveloping flow of air around the nozzle and around the flame, which enveloping flow of air prevents contact of the flame with and also prevents overheating of the effluent end of said sleeve I1. The fuel supply pipe extension I2 and the sleeve I1 are held in coaxial relationship by spacers 22 connected with said extension I2 and extending radially therefrom into engagement with the inner periphery of said sleeve I1.

An intermediate sleeve 23 is supported coaxially within the burner tube I by radial spacers 24 attached to and projecting from said sleeve 23 to engagement with the inner periphery of said tube I. The eiliuent end portion I8 of the inner sleeve I1 extends concentrically into the inlet end 25 of the intermediate sleeve 23 terminating relatively a considerable distance from the effluent end 26 of said intermediate sleeve 23. Radial spacers 21 attached to and projecting from the eiiluent end portion I8 of the inner sleeve I1 and engaging the inner periphery of the intermediate sleeve 23, hold said sleeves in coaxial relationship, providing an annular air passage 28 between said sleeves. This annular air passage 28 develops another enveloping flow of air, which air envelope is maintained surrounding the flame to the end of the intermediate sleeve 23, preventing overheating of said sleeve 23 and preventing the flame from contacting therewith.

Brackets 29 and 30 are welded or otherwise attached to the inner and intermediate sleeves I1 and 23, respectively, and are provided with slots 3| for anchor clamping bolts 32. The bolts 32 extend through the respective slots 3I and through holes tapped through the wall of the burner tube I. Nuts 33 screwed on the bolts 32 are adjustable to clamp and secure the brackets 29 and 30 in rigid relationship with each other, thereby holding the sleeves I1 and 23 rigidly in selected relative adjustments in the burner tube I. It is evident that, when the appropriate clamping device 32-33 is loosened, the corresponding sleeve I1 or 23 may be moved longitudinally to a selected or needed adjusted position relative to the other and to the nozzle I3, after which said clamping device 32-33 may be tightened to hold its connected sleeve rigidly in its new adjustment. The peripheral walls of the eflluent end portions of the sleeves I1 and 23 are preferably beveled or inclined, as indicated at 34 (Fig. 1) This permits the impelled currents or flow of air through the annular passages 28 and 35 to converge axially and contact with the outer portions of the flame of combustion which is indicated diagrammatically by oval outline 36 in Fig. 1. The annular passage 35 develops another enveloping flow of air, which envelope is maintained around the flame until the flame has entered the restricted passage, as further indicated by outline 36.

The sleeves I1 and 23 thus function and are instrumental in maintaining an enveloping flow of air around the flame from the point of ignition until after the flame has entered the restricted passage. This flowing air envelope, besides protecting the burner parts from overheating, prevents carbon deposits in the burner by preventing direct contact of the flame with the burner surfaces; and the general coaxial direcface of the tube I.

tion of air and flame flow in the burner develops a smooth flowing flame free of eddy currents, which currents cause carbon deposits.

A heat resisting reducer device 31 is secured within the burner tube I beyond the eilluent end 26 of the intermediate sleeve 23. The reducer device 31 has a restricted passage 38 therethrough coaxial with the burner tube I and in axial alignment with the sleeves 23 and I1 and with the nozzle I3. The inner end of the reducer device 31 is formed with a funnel wall 39 which is shown flaring from the end of the restricted passage 38 to intersection with the sur- The angle of inclination of the wall 39 is preferably 35 to 40 from the longitudinal axis of the burner tube I and of the reducer device 31. The reducer device either cross-sectional area of the burner tube I.

may be composed of or lined with refractory or other heat resisting material as desired. However, ii the burner is submerged, this reducer device may be of common cast iron or steel because the heat is transferred so rapidly. The reducer device may also be made of high heat resistant alloy regardless of immersion, as shown at 31' in Fig. 3, the funnel 31' being welded into the burner tube I near the end thereof and the end wall of the burner tube I' having a sleeve to which the flre tube 45 is welded.

Regardless of the material of which it is constructed, this funnel-shaped reducer device causes symmetrical reduction of the cross-sectional area of the air and burning gas shown at 36. Forcing the gases into the orifice or passage 38 abrutly increases the velocity of flow, breaks up the Stratification theretofore desired,- and, at this early stage of development of the combustion flame, it creates great turbulence, thereby eflfecting thorough mixture of the air impelled from the passages 28 and 35 into the flame and in contact with the fuel. This accelerates completion of combustion and effects more complete com.-

bustion in less space, thus increasing efllciency and requiring less materials for boiler and burner construction. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the burner tube I to the cross-sectional area of the restricted passage 38 is preferably 10-15 to 1. The flre tube passage may be continuously straight throughout or continuously curved, or may be straight for a distance and then curved or coiled, or of other form as desired.

Additional flgures giving desired proportions of the parts will now be furnished for oil burners embodying the invention and the reasons therefor will be stated.

The internal cross-sectional area of the burner tube I can handle the requisite air if it has an approximate size amounting to six or seven square inches per gallon of oil burned per hour (similar dimensions would apply to like B. t. u. value of gas). As above noted, it is important that the cross-section of the throat 38 be within a range of approximately to approximately of the The length of the throat passage 38 should preferably be at least one to one and one-half times its diameter. I may be greatly elongated but preferably should not be shorter.

In the device illustrated, the disk 20 has a clearance ranging from inch to A; inch between its periphery and the inner surface of the inner sleeve I1. If the clearance is too great the air velocity will be such as to tend to pull oil the flame. If the clearance is too small, the resulting deficiency of air will cause a carbon deposit inside the sleeve I1.

The nozzle tip l3 should be set inside the eflluent margin l8 of sleeve I! for a distance equal approximately to of the I. D. of sleeve l1. If this distance is too short, the flame tends to pull off; if too long, carbon is deposited insid the sleeve.

The distance from the nozzle tip l3 to the inlet of constrictor 31 should be approximately 1% to 1% times the diameter of the tube I. This distance allows just enough development of the flame to permit it to take the required high velocity of flow through the requisite throat 38. The amount of combustion achieved before the flame enters the throat 38 should be carefully controlled. If the distance between the nozzle and the constricting orifice is' appreciably increased over that shown, the increased combustion and resulting expansion will greatly increase the air pressure required to force the gases through the orifice. with about twice as much clearance, twice the pressure and consequently twice the power has been required.

Likewise the distance between the tapered end of the intermediate sleeve 23 and the cone-shaped face 39 of the restrictor 31 or 31' should be carefully determined. I have found that such distance, along a line projected axially directly from the terminal margin of sleeve 23 to the point Where such projected line contacts the conical surface 39, the distance should be equal to 1 to 2 times the clearance between sleeve 23 and burner tube l as measured radially. That is, the air flow around sleeve 23 should not be throttled around this point but the sleeve should be as close to the conical surface as is reasonably possible without throttling air flow outside of the sleeve. If the air flow outside of the sleeve were throttled, there would not be adequate fiow to provide the requisiteenvelope around the flame at the point where the flame enters the conical restrictin surface 39. On the other hand, if the sleeve is spaced too far from the conical restricting surface, the surrounding air mixes prematurely with the flame, prematurely breaking up the air envelope. In either case, the constrictor 31 or 31' will be heated excessively.

The preferreddistribution of air flow through the burner is as follows:

The air flow around disk 20 through the inner tube I1 is preferably from 1% to 3% of the total air flow. The air flow between the inner sleeve l1 and the intermediate sleeve 23 preferably ranges from 64% to 72% of the total air flow. The air flow between the intermediate sleeve 23 and the burner tub l is preferably 26% to 34% of total air flow. It will be observed that the fuel supplied through nozzle I3 is initially mixed with relatively slow moving primary air in quantities just sufficient to support combustion. The burning mixture is then enveloped in a relatively large volume of air moved in an annular stream at substantially the same rate of flow through the intermediate sleeve 23. Undue agitation of the buming over-rich mixture is avoided, the air and burning fuel being deliberately stratifled at this point.

As the flame expands it is enveloped in another annular stream of air moving at like speed outside of sleeve 23 which shields the tapering surface 39 from the full heat of the flame and so smoothly envelops the burning gases that there still is no complete mixture until the burning ases and the annular strata of air encounter the tapering surface 39 at the entrance to the restricted passage 38. At this point sudden acceleratlon and resulting turbulence are such that a very thorough mixing is eil'ected abruptly and completed almost immediately. Flame propagation thenceforth is extremely rapid. Rapid as is the flame propagation, the movement of the gases is almost equally rapid due to the specified dimension of orifice 33, the major part of the combustion of the mixture being preferably completed after the flame enters into the restricted passage 38 or 38'. Preferably only 1% or 2% of the fuel supplied through the nozzle has been burned up to the time when the ignited mixture enters passage 38 or 38'. The completion of combustion is effected in what is estimated to be /50 or less of the space and time customarily required. Any excess combustion occurring before the gases enter the passage 38 will greatly increase the power required by increasing the back pressure.

Specific dimensions of an acceptable oil burner embodying the invention are as follows:

The diameter of the disk 20 as used in this particular burner was 3% inches. The inside diameter of the sleeve I! was 3% inches and its external diameter 3% inches. The nozzle I3 was set back 1 /2 inches from the eiliuent end of the sleeve I1 and was 12 inches from the entrance to the restricted passage 38.

The internal diameter of the intermediate sleeve 23 was 6% inches and its external diameter '7 inches. The axial dimension between the eflluent end 34 of the intermediate tube 23 and the tapering surface 39 was 1 inch. The internal diameter of the burner tube I was 8 inches. The internal diameter of the passage 38 was 2% inches and its length 3% inches. Using the relative proportions previously given, it is easily possible to provide correct proportions, dimensions and locations of corresponding parts for any desired fuel capacity.

For directing and controlling the flame or gases emanating from the restricted passageway 38, a wall plate 40 equipped with a nipple 4! opening from the passageway 38, may be attached to the end of the burner tube l. The nipple 4| may form a passage into a hermetically connected fire tube or other heat conduit. When used as a torch, the entire burner may be equipped with and mounted on supporting legs 42, thus adding to portability and versatility of use.

The burners can be operated by manual control with familiar swab ignition; or by electric spark ignition, and by complete automatic controls now in common use; or by partial manual and partial automatic means. For electrical ignition electrodes 48 and 49, shown in Fig. 1, extend from insulators 58 mounted in a holder 5| secured to the oil pipe extension [2 within the sleeve II. The electrodes 48 and 49 are supplied with current by conductors 52 and 53.

From the foregoing, it should be apparent that my invention attains all of its intended objects and purposes with a high degree of efiiciency and economy, and that only minor changes are required to adapt the invention to varied uses. I contemplate such other changes and modifications as may be required or needed from time to time.
